Official single moms/dating thread!

Quoting .legendTAYry.:" I broke up with my SO.......... It has been a month or so now. I am doing rather well. I am dating one ... [snip!] ... well. I am dating one guy, but there isn't much potential we are just good friends and I think it might just end up being sex."

Big mistake letting my ex in to my daughter's life. He filled her head with a bunch of empty promises and left as quickly as he came. The whole time he was here he was telling me how much he loves me and how he has missed me. He said he wanted to go back home for 2 weeks, pack his stuff and move out here. The day he got home he called his ex gf up and screwed her, then they called me and told me. And he told me to f**k off and have a good life. So now my daughter keeps saying her dad is coming back, and every time I tell her he isn't she yells at me and gets mad and tells me well he promised he was! I guess this way though, she has memories of him and she can remember for herself now the way he is and how he is just full of shit. As much as it sucks seeing how down she gets about it, I think it is good for her because now she will know why he isn't here. The dumb ass has been gone since July 2 and NEVER bothered to call my daughter either even though at the airport they were both crying and he promised he would call her all the time and Skype. He is a POS and I am completely writing him off this time!

Quoting Mrs.Josh Ramsay:" good luck with that in a non mean way... those always lead to unwanted drama"

Just having sex? I have had quite a few just sex people in my life.. It never turned into drama, just fizzled out eventually. I feel like if both of you are open with your intentions from the beginning it would be silly for there to be drama.

I want to join too...I haven't posted on BG in years, but I was so frustrated with my situation I googled "why is it so hard to date as a single mom" and found this thread.

Anyways, I have a 3 year old son. I've been separated and living apart from my ex husband for over a year, and have dated 3 guys since then. The first broke my heart, second I just didn't feel anything for him even though he's a great guy, and the latest one broke my heart soooo bad I can't even eat or think straight right now. :-/

Quoting Miss Brittany:" I figured I would join this since I am now single. I'm Brittany. I have a son, G, who will be 5 next ... [snip!] ... who will be 5 next month. Literally just got out of a relationship. We were living together. Blah blah blah. Anyways, hello!"

Quoting .legendTAYry.:" Hope everyones good! Welcome to the new people! I am still single, plan to be this way for a while. I have been split from my BD for a year almost exactly... It is an interesting milestone."

I have been split from mine for like a year and 3 weeks. I think I should have waited a while before rushing into these situations. I want to focus on myself before I start dating again...but it's hard. I get lonely and I need sex frequently lol.

Quoting Miss Brittany:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Estrella85:</b>" Hello! How long were you guys together?"</blockquote> ... [snip!] ... a year, but I seriously thought he was the one I would marry. Even my family thought so. He was the nicest guy I ever dated."

<blockquote><b>Quoting Miss Brittany:</b>" <blockquote><b>Quoting Estrella85:</b>" Awww that sucks. What happened?"</blockquote> ... [snip!] ... It was our first real fight. It was over something stupid. It's long and I'm on my phone. I just wish it wasn't over."</blockquote>

I'm so sorry.

As hard as this is, maybe it's a good thing his ways came to light before you guys actually got married. You can't just give up over one stupid fight. I'm sorry that you are going through this.

I forgot to ever explain what happened with my bf. I went on a ten day vacation to Cali since he moved away... It was a good time, and he broke up with me the day after I got home. All because I was asking when he would be home. (He was planning to come back to Maui since he hates it up there) I was just tired of sitting in limbo. Limbo f**king sucks.

Estrella85- I feel you. I wish I spent more time rediscovering myself. I just or my own place like three months ago and I'm just lonely at home.

hi and welcome! what happened? I'm not entirely sure if mine is working out. OUR relationship is solid (he says) but idk. we have different ideas of blended families, and it may end us eventually. He really thinks if we live separately we'll be fine. I want a family. What's the point if we move backwards? I moved in because he told me he was "on the verge of proposing"

now he's not sure if living together is working, even recently alluded to marriage not being important to him. (always was before?)
